Chapter 92: Chapter 91 Frontline Rescue
As Chen ng watched the video, the audience in her livestream did the sa; her channel had a popularity of around nine million. Chen ng didn’t quite understand how Racoon Streaming’s popularity calculation worked, but she was sure she had several hundred thousand viewers watching her.
So when Chen ng clicked on the video made by a YouTuber nad “Frontline Reporter,” barrages of comnts like “Dream Bro’s matchmaking squad is here” and “Dream Bro, look at , look at ” began floating across the screen… It was the kind of barrage that made Chen ng feel a bit troubled, yet helpless.
“Can I turn off the comnts and just properly admire Queen i’s beauty?”
Chen ng took out a pack of Magic Power chips from her bag, ripped it open, and started munching. The chips were tasteless, but she felt as if sothing was missing if she watched videos without snacks, like eating vegetables without white rice.
As Chen ng crunched on her chips, chewing noisily behind her Lion Heart helt, the video finally began to get to the point.
It was a biographical video. The narrator, a pleasant-sounding woman, briefly introduced Queen i as the ultimate boss in the Divine Wars.
...
“This biography is based on the private diaries of Queen i found in the instance map ‘Private Royal Library.’ To prove its authenticity, the Frontline Archaeology Team was even chased by Queen i herself.” The narrator added a clip of the Dancing Nuclear Guild being chased by Queen i and a screenshot of the diary as a prop.
“From the combat records of the Divine Wars frontline strategy teams, it’s evident that Queen i was one of the toughest bosses in the wars, with high mobility and wide-reaching blood-essence attacks that gave major guilds’ strategy teams quite a headache. But this queen, who appears cold and doesn’t blink an eye when killing, actually has a past that isn’t too dramatic.”
Get to the good stuff already! I’m about to fall asleep!
Chen ng really wanted to skip the opening monologue by dragging the progress bar, but the next words from the video’s creator made her perk up a bit.
“She was frail and sickly since childhood, but she made it through with her mother’s ticulous care, until at the age of eleven, her mother passed away from illness. Therefore, Queen i can be seen as soone who was in great need of motherly love and craved affection from others. This is evidenced by a passage in her diary written at eleven years old, ‘I don’t like to cry in father’s embrace—there’s a strange sll about him. If only mother were here, I wouldn’t have to hold back my tears.'”
Wow!
Chen ng’s hand movent, as she ate the chips, sped up by a factor of point three. At thirty-seven years old, she had not gotten married, not because Chen ng didn’t want to… she just hadn’t found soone who sparked her interest.
But as she aged, Chen ng gradually harbored thoughts of raising a child, which she channeled into her gaming. Whatever online gas Chen ng played, she always started with pet raising.
Unfortunately, the Holy Spirit World ga had not yet introduced a pet system.
But Queen i’s character setting really hit the mark for Chen ng.
“Yet, upon reaching adulthood, i still took on the heavy responsibilities of being a king. However, shortly after Queen i’s ascension, disasters began to occur—the catastrophe of the shattered world, a disaster far more terrifying than earthquakes and volcanic eruptions… After the spread of the Corpse Curse, the number of people in the entire city who could communicate with Queen i dwindled.”
I really want to skip this… Chen ng, listening to the narrator’s follow-up story, was all about how Queen i managed to sustain the lives of her people through the apocalypse, and regrouping the order within the royal city.
It sounded truly epic, especially when accompanied by Queen i’s diary, but Chen ng wasn’t too interested in this part of the ‘ga background setting,’ not until the video started to near its conclusion.
“Having heard this far, don’t you all think Queen i is quite amazing, sustaining her people for so long in the post-apocalypse? But this shrewd, competent, and suprely powerful queen also had a vulnerable side, or rather, it was her vulnerability that was her true self. As proof, after the onset of the apocalypse, Queen i wrote a plea for help. I won’t narrate the specific content of the letter; please watch the following clip.”
Upon hearing this, Chen ng’s eyes, which had been half-closed, now widened as she focused on the text erging on the screen. The text wasn’t typed by the video creator; it was an enlarged screenshot that was semi-transparent. One could vaguely see that the background was a sowhat chaotic bedroom.
Chen ng concentrated on the screenshot. It was an old-fashioned letter, written in the unique script of the Holy Spirit World, apparently by a girl, judging from the delicate handwriting. Beside the writing, the translation started to appear, one word at a ti.
‘This is a distress letter.
Whoever receives it, please.
Save us.
We are trapped in this city…’
The content of the distress letter was sowhat long. Chen ng stopped eating her chips as she read the letter and saw the translucent image of Queen i lying and crying on the bed behind the ssage.
If Chen ng focused and listened carefully, she could even hear the sobbing of the queen.
Finally, when the sobbing gradually ceased, the voice of the video host resud.
“This is a distress letter that arrived into the hands of all players a hundred years too late. If you are watching this video on May 3rd, an event to save Queen i will soon be announced on the official website. Will you choose to completely purify Queen i from the Corpse Curse, or…”
Chen ng dragged the progress bar back after reading this far. She pulled it to the scene where Queen i was lying on the bed crying again.
She repeated this scene over and over, as if obsessed, until the Swordsman standing next to her could hardly bear it anymore.
“Chen ng, why don’t you log off and go to sleep?” the Swordsman tentatively asked.
“Log off my ass! Swordsman, hurry up and summon everyone, we’re going to clash with the top five guilds,” Chen ng slapped her knee guard and said.
“This… doesn’t sound good,” the Swordsman felt hesitant inside. He had only established an entertainnt guild, and although they outnumbered the top five guilds of Holy Spirit World, their overall combat strength wasn’t even close to being significant.
“Didn’t you send this video and article so I could watch this kind of show? It’s not our first ti rebelling.” After finishing watching, Chen ng imdiately shared the video and article on her microblog and attached a comnt… ‘Tonight, we group up to save Queen i’.
At this ti, Chen ng also received a gift from the officials. Following the prompt, she opened her mailbox where a Ti-Space Transformation Gift Box lay quietly.
Once Chen ng opened the gift box, inside was a small crystal and an ancient letter.
“Chen ng, this crystal seems to let players transform into any one of the five Knights or the axe-wielding man,” the Swordsman, who also received the gift box, spoke, as everyone around showed off their crystals under Chen ng’s gaze.
“Take on the new branch main quest. Starting from today, we are all mbers of the Knights under the King!”
Chen ng tossed aside her chips, drew out her great sword, and stood up to shout to the guild mbers.
The players by the Ti rchant, motivated by Chen ng’s call, concurrently brought out their transformation crystals. Accompanied by the flash of light… one by one, Lion Heart Knights and Bee Knights, Wolf Knights, as well as axe-wielding n and Hawkeye Knights appeared before Chen ng.
Brat! Don’t be scared! Mama’s here to save you!
